Delhi’s CEO office said it has received an unprecedented number of 5.1 lakh Form-6s for new enrollments in the last 20 days. An unprecedented rush of Form-6 has been witnessed for new voter registration from December 16, 2024, a statement said. More than 5.1 lakh Form-6 have been received in Delhi since this date.
The number of youth going to vote for the first time is 2,08,302. The Election Commission had released the data in October 2024, at that time the number of voters was 1,53,57,529. The Election Commission has also released the data of voters of different age limits.
Vikaspuri is the assembly constituency in the capital where the number of voters is highest. Whereas Delhi Cantt has the least number of voters. The number of voters in Vikaspuri is 4,62,184. Whereas, there are 78,893 voters in Delhi Cantt. The area with the highest sex ratio is Tilaknagar (967) and the area with the lowest sex ratio is Okhla (731).
They will not be able to vote
The Election Commission said that people whose names are not in the voter list will not be able to vote in the 2025 assembly elections. Details are also given in the new voter list as to how many new voters have been added and how many names have been removed. AAP has accused BJP of filing multiple applications to remove names of voters supporting the Kejriwal-led party across Delhi. The official said the process of deletion of any name from the voter list is done after thorough verification as per the Election Commission guidelines and mere submission of the list for deletion does not initiate the process.
When will Delhi elections be held?
Assembly elections in Delhi are likely to be held in February 2025. However, the Election Commission of India has not announced the dates yet. The Congress, which has been in power in Delhi for 15 consecutive years, has performed poorly in the last two assembly elections. It has failed to win even a single seat. In the 2020 assembly elections, AAP won 62 out of 70 seats and BJP won the eighth seat.
